A week with the Sketch team in The Hague

The Sketch team met in The Hague in the beginning of March for our semi-annual get together. We had a fun and productive week working on upcoming features whilst enjoying face-to-face collaborations with delicious appeltaart. As a distributed team, with members located in the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, the UK, and the United States, spending a week together is a real treat. We also had a great time meeting the designer and developer community at the Dribbble & Sketch meetup in Rotterdam.

Designer Marc Andrew takes us through his two-part tutorial where he walks you through how to design six screens in Sketch by using InVision’s Craft, Icon Jar, and how to prototype the designs in Flinto for Mac.

Are you translating your designs to different languages? Now you can translate designs to other languages directly in Sketch. The Qordoba plugin makes product localization easy. With just a click you can set the font preferences to localize text layers automatically, speeding up your design and iteration process.

You can read more about how this great plugin can help you on their blog.

This incredible plugin can allow you to easily create simple animations directly in Sketch. AnimateMate allows you to create and edit keyframes whilst defining a number of easing functions, as well as the ability to export frames as PNGs or animated GIFs. View some examples of the great animations you can make here.

You can explore many other great plugins made by the community over at our Plugins Page.

InVision has just released another great tool within its Craft plugin suite to help speed up your design workflow. With Styles you can automatically generate a comprehensive style guide for your designs. With just a click, Styles creates a new page within your Sketch file with your project’s color palette, fonts, and text styles. You can also add custom elements, like buttons and symbols. Give it a try!
